There have been large decreases in satisfaction with public spaces since 2012 in Piatra
Neamt (61%, -29) and Istanbul (51%, -17). Satisfaction has also decreased in other
cities in the same countries: Cluj Napoca (70%, -7) and Antalya (74%, -7). The largest
increases in satisfaction can be seen in Rotterdam (93%, +10) and Tallinn (77%, +9).
When comparing the results for the ‘city’ with those from the overall ‘Greater city’, it
appears that respondents from the city of Athina are less likely than those from the
overall ‘Greater Athens’ to be satisfied with public spaces such as markets, squares and
pedestrian areas (36% compared with 49%).
As shown in the graph below, the correlation between satisfaction with living in the city
and satisfaction with public spaces is fairly high. That is to say, the more inhabitants are
satisfied with their city's public spaces, the more satisfied they are to live there. For
example, in Rotterdam 93% are satisfied with public spaces and the same proportions
are also satisfied to live in the city. Conversely, just over a third (36%) in Athina have
the same opinion of public spaces and around two thirds are satisfied to live in the city
(67%). However, there are exceptions to this trend demonstrated by cities like Valletta.
